A boat winch assembly has a mounting bracket, a winch subassembly supported by the mounting bracket, a spar, and a hinge connection that interconnects the spar with the mounting bracket. The winch subassembly includes a spool onto which an anchor line is to be wound. The spar includes rollers, and an anchor line retaining member. A fairlead is defined between one of the rollers and the anchor line retaining member. The hinge connection enables the spar to rotate between a deployed position and a stowed position about a pivot axis that is transverse to the lengthwise direction of the spar. When the boat winch assembly is secured to a boat, the anchor line passes through the fairlead. When raising the anchor, the boat winch assembly can lift the spar from the deployed position to the stowed position.
